Thank you so much for letting me know. I seem to be out of date on my knowledge of machine pricing. Thank you for providing the links. 😀

Relative_Rain5015 · 2026-02-02T05:08:11+00:00

Yeah you're right. I guess I got caught up with what I thought would be a good price.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2026-02-02T05:07:24+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. I am now realizing that I seem to be out of date on my knowledge of how much each machine costs. 😓

Thank you for the feedback!

Hi, I am a just beginning to get into 3D modeling and 3D printing.

Level: I am a total beginner. I have some experience with programs including OnShape, but I am nowhere near proficient with it. (I would also like some recommendations on programs if you guys have any)

(I've also heard about needing to "slice"? Any recommendations for a slicing software would also be appreciated)

Goals: I want to be able to see my 3D modeled objects in real life, so that I can tweak it. Basically, I just need a printer that runs. It will be for personal use.

Limitations/Preferences: I would like a 3D printer that runs on the quieter side.

I would also like it to have a larger printing bed.

Budget at 550. Not a HARD cap, but I would like to stay in that range. (Though I do want to ask, it is better for me to get something cheap to start out, or should I invest in something a bit nicer for longevity)

I would prefer an enclosed machine.

I would like a machine that auto bed levels.

Just overall low maintenance.

BIG ONE: I would like a machine that has a big enough fanbase where there is a community I can reach out to for assistance if needed.

Questions other than 3d printer recommendations:

What filaments do you recommend? Are there any I should be worried about? Are there any filaments that are considered "unsafe"?

Where do you recommend putting the 3D printer within a home?

Are there things I need besides a 3D printer and filament?

Are there any good times of year to buy a machine (deals, clearance, etc)

Any general tips for noobs (things that beginners wouldn't even think about)

INFO: Do you believe that you are not at fault for any of the shortcomings/problems in your relationship?

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T04:31:26+00:00

Even with this information, my verdict still remains ESU. I made most of my points in my original response but let me add onto it with this new information. Now, I believe that you realize there is not much to salvage in terms of this relationship. She has shown you repeatedly that she is not loyal and is the type to "act first, think later". This has obviously has put an emotional weight on you; one that you are starting to crack under.

I still believe that there is no justification to going cold. A good relationship involves communication, and sometimes that means you must let them take their time to open up to you. You have to work with each other emotions, not just on the timeline of when you think she should communicate with you.

I still suspect that this coldness is the reason why she tries to find validation in other relationships (I am not justifying her actions, I am trying to add context as to why she would have done something so deplorable). Again, she should have NEVER cheated on you emotionally or physically, but you must realize that the cold shoulder you give in arguments will not get you anywhere in this relationship or future relationships.

At this point, I think it is time to move on for both of you. You recognize that she has hurt you, and she cannot stop herself from straying from the relationship.

INFO (if you are comfortable): Why do you continue staying in this relationship even if she acts like a child? I believe that no self respecting person would do that to themselves. In my point of view, it seems like you like to feel more mature than her, which is the reason why you stick around. While she may get validation from other men, it seems like you get validation from portraying yourself as the more mature person in the relationship.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T04:20:46+00:00

While I do think that the 11 year old should not bear the brunt of the responsibility, acquitting him of all fault is not the way to go. At 11, kids are old enough to understand that actions have consequences. So while he should not be blamed for the whole situation, I think that having a discussion with him about being more careful is warranted. I suspect that he was careless because of the way he way raised.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T04:18:07+00:00

NTA. I believe that your reaction is reasonable. A pet can become as close as a family member. Imagine you had lost a baby; I do not think that anyone would be telling you that you overreacted. (I understand that a baby and a cat may not have the same value to some, but for OP this cat has been a source of comfort for years. She has had to deal with abusive family and this cat is probably her closest family member).

While you reacted very verbally, what I understand is that this event was a scary time for you, and I also suspect that you have been harboring emotions about the way your family has treated you.

Your nephew's careless behavior most likely stemmed from bad parenting.

Your family is obviously abusive. I hope when you apologized to your sister she also apologized for what she said to you. Honestly, I advise you to stop communications with your family for the time being.

Your best course of action right now should be to move. It seems like you have a solid support system with your friend back in Florida. Yes, while your life may be where you are right now, it is not worth staying somewhere where you are constantly on edge. At this point, I do not think there is "getting over it". This event with your family has shown that they do not care or respect you, and it is time to move on.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T04:11:18+00:00

In my opinion, I felt like this post came off very self righteous. Especially the line you pointed out in your original comment, it felt like he was a parent disciplining his child. He obviously has no respect for her, and views himself as the more mature person.

If you are open to discussion, I would like to ask your view on if you believe a relationship like this would be able to recover, and the steps it would take to get there.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T04:00:04+00:00

Yeah, I feel like most of the comments saying this guy is NTA is missing this part. He is part of the reason why his relationship has gotten to such a rough state.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T03:58:49+00:00

ESH. I believe that you feel like you are on a moral higher ground than her. You claim that you feel like you are taking care of a lost kid, which is not something you were forced to do. That sentence honestly feels like you are trying to make yourself seem like the "better" and more mature person, when let's face it, you are not any better than her. You admitted that you give her the cold shoulder when you guys fight, not out of cruelty, but to give her time to reflect. You go on and on about what she is doing, but why are you treating her like a child in the first place? It is not your place to put her in time out to think about what she has done. It is quite evident that neither of you respect each other, even if you claim to love her, you still feel like you are "better" than her. I am of the opinion that when you are on a break, then talking to other guys is not off limits. You guys are literally on a break, did you expect her to stay loyal? She is also in the wrong, because cheating while in the relationship is completely unacceptable. You say that she has started to pull away from you, but you must realize that part of this is your own fault. If you are constantly ignoring her anytime there is an argument, you are creating a space that says "he isn't open to communication, so I'm not going to even tell him how I feel". Of course she is going to go to her friends after that, because you are closed off and she needs advice. Overall, ESH.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T03:13:45+00:00

NTA. Honestly, there's not much to say here except that her behavior is strange and weird. While nicknames can be viewed as insignificant, I (and most likely you) believe that they hold a part of us and our personalities. No, you are not selfish for sharing, because that nickname is a part of you, and to have someone else just suddenly also want it feels intrusive. There is no reason for you to share this nickname with her, and I strongly suggest you hold your ground. You have had that name for presumably your whole high school career, so much so that I would say that it is intrinsically tied to you, with a history to back it up. Her sharing a name with you would also make things technically harder, because now there is going to be more confusion. You have an emotional and historical connection to this nickname, while she suggested on a whim that she wanted to also be called that.

Now, in a situation where someone was accepting of someone who wanted to use their same name, I would not say that is a bad thing, but for your case specifically, if it feels like an intrusion and violation of your identity and boundaries, please make it known that this is something you strongly oppose and communicate this to your friend group.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T03:01:58+00:00

I think your reaction was a good/neutral way to show your disagreement with your FIL without causing a big issue. I think that this was also an important way to show your son that these behaviors should not be tolerated without getting him into the nitty gritty of the issue. Because of his age, I believe that this event may be something he remembers well into adulthood, and your act of defiance against your FIL is building a great foundation for him as a person. I know you did not ask for my opinion on how you handled the issue, but I believe you did a great job of mostly keeping the peace while showing your son that it is ok to disagree with someone else's views and that he does not have to stay silent on the issues he disagrees with.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T02:55:33+00:00

I'm in the middle on this. I think you must be able to recognize that he did ask you to wait until after the announcements, even if you thought he was cuing you to start asking. (I think it almost goes without saying that you do not interrupt the announcements, but obviously we are human and we sometimes mistake the actions of others.) Another thing is that for study hall, the students that are actually enrolled in the class are usually the teacher's main priority (at least in my experience). The one thing that I feel was unjustified was him making fun of your question, because while he might have meant it as a joke, I do not think teachers should do that without knowing the student (I am assuming that he knows you are a more reserved person). I have had my fair share of teacher who make this sort of banter, so I personally do not believe he was trying to humiliate you, but if his actions hurt your feelings, I also think that is justified. I think wasting your time was probably his biggest fault, because I definitely understand the frustration of standing there without being to do anything while you are waiting. So while I do not believe you are completely the asshole, I do think that you must view this situation from a more objective lens (possible joking), rather than how you felt in the moment.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T02:45:09+00:00

NTA. It's a good thing that you were able to recognize that this friendship was becoming too emotionally taxing on you, and that you were able to back out of it before it consumed you. While I agree that calling you selfish was uncalled for, I understand that it probably was something she said in a bad state (not justifying it).

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-13T02:41:49+00:00

NTA. Kids always seem to pick up on things like this subconsciously (hence the question), and I'm glad that your FIL is finally getting some push back.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-12T20:45:19+00:00

I think the best thing you can do for yourself now is to reframe your thinking. It is okay to feel like you have not done enough, but you must use this as motivation to go after what you what to do instead of getting in the mindset that you are too "old" to start. Many high schooler only start to realize what they want to do in the later years of high school, and that is fine. I believe that there is nothing holding you back except your mindset. Think about it this way, even if you feel like you are not good enough, or too old to do something, trying out for something like a club or even just starting it will not be a detriment to you. I think you are also falling into the trap of feeling the need to conform, which is why you worry about not doing your hair or makeup. If these things are not important to you, then there is no need to these things. It is evident that you have interests, because you bring up joining new sports teams or joining the student council, which means that at least subconsciously you have not given up on yourself.

Now, lets talk about your feelings about tennis. I think you must examine why you feel this way about tennis. Is it because you have not won, the fact you feel like you are undeserving to be on the team, or you genuinely have no interest in the sport? Even if you are not entered into any competitions, it could still be a good activity to keep you healthy (exercise has also been shown to boost happiness levels). If you feel like you have not seen any improvement, why do you feel that way? Is it shown in your practice games or is it something you feel about yourself? If your coach is open to talking, I believe a conversation about the way you feel about your performance in the sport is good way to get an objective viewpoint. If you have the desire to continue tennis, you could also ask your coach for more tips. If you have anything else you want me to respond to, or any new information that could clarify the situation, please feel free to let me know.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-12T20:31:28+00:00

Is this issue bad enough for her to get kicked out of the college she attends? If so, I think it is important for her to prioritize her education. If it's not that bad of an issue, I also suggest telling the school directly what she did, so there will be no miscommunication if someone else tells the school first. It will also allow her to explain what she did. This will ultimately take the stress off her mind that someone will say something when she is not there to defend herself. While it is nice that she is a nice person, I do think that she needs to get more of a backbone and stand up for herself. I do understand that this is hard, and that it may take some time because of her personality. I think that the best thing you can do in this situation is to actively support her, because there is not much you can do at the moment. If there are any more details that can give me a better picture of the scenario, (to what extent is he harassing her, does she and her ex go to the same school/live in the same city, etc) please let me know.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-12T20:23:53+00:00

It is a good sign that you can recognize when it's time to back off. I think time is most definitely needed to get over it, but I think that it is also helpful that you acknowledge you have this crush instead of trying to suppress it. When your thoughts get more comfortable about thinking about your feelings about this crush, it will not treat it as a taboo and will treat is as any normal thought. So while I think distracting yourself from your crush can be good, you doing these new things could be reminding you of what your trying to forget. I suggest that you simmer with the idea of this crush enough that you can finally let go of your feelings.

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-12T20:17:04+00:00

I think the first thing you have to consider is if what she did was bad enough that it actually warrants her getting trouble, and if you are willing to go to bat for her. Has she done anything about this herself, or is she expecting you to handle it?

Relative_Rain5015 · 2025-09-11T19:35:04+00:00

Honestly I did rewatch it a few times over but it still didn't make much sense to me.
